Topic: The Speed Of The God's Affair And The Angels Posted: 15 December 2012 at 10:44pm

Assalamu’alaikum
Warakhmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

When
I tried to answer the statement that Qur’an inconsistant, one of which is
between

a.Surah 32 (As Sajdah/The Prostration), Verse5:

He directs the whole affair from heaven to earth, then
(this affair) ascend to Him in a daywhich the measure is a thousand
years of your reckoning.

b.Surah 70 (Al-Ma`ārij/The
Ascending Stairways), Verse4:

The Angels and Jibril/Gabriel ascend (facing) to God in a
day whereof fifty thousand years.

The
answer that I have planned is:

Neil Armstrong, an
United States Astronaut in July 1969 landed on the Moon during the day whereof
was 27.321661 twenty seven point three two one six six one days to the
calculations of the inhabitants of the Earth. Astronaut Neil Armstrong was a
pride of the United States, because he was the first to land on the Moon and
deliver United States outperformed the Soviet Union as its competitors. But on
youtube a lot with all the analysis stated that these events are just a figment
of the thumb. Until now I still don't believe that NASA, which became the
reference of many scientists lying?

The space agencies ofothercountriesare
planning amanned mission to landon Venus, the planet of thelevels ofthe day, isthe same as theday ofreckoning-243.0187theEarth. Minus as a signthatVenusrotatesclockwisedirection. And it turns out planet Venus is not beautiful woman like the goddess Venus that was depicted by the master art in the past, Venus is the planet of death.

But when
googling to get the period day of the planets in the Solar system, accidentally
I even found the article "A New Astronomical Quranic Method for The
Determination Of The Greatest Speed C" paper of mr. Hassan
Hassab-Elnaby, Ph.D. (http://www.islamicity.org/Science/960703A.HTM), a Physics
experts from Egypt. Assalaamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Prof, may God
bless You and thankyou for the articles.

From the
results of His analysis and calculations, then the speed of the
"Affair" in the above Qur’an Surah 32 Verse 5 is equal to the speed
of light or equal to 299792.5
km/second. Try to compare with:

But in my opinion mr. Mansour Hassan Hassab-Elnaby,
Ph.D. has tended to adjust the speed of the "Affair" with the speed
of light human measurement results. Due to travel to the Sun it takes 500
seconds or about 8.34 minutes, sorry it’s too slow.

If my
understanding of the "affair" was synonymous with "data"
that can be either command/message/information/control or anything that is
currently shipped by first converted into electromagnetic signal was true. Then
the speed of the "affair" is more or less = 29.5 x 12 x 1000 x the
speed of light = 354,000 x the speed of light/electromagnetic.It's very far from the reach of the human
brain at the time, so now I understand why the Prophet Muhammad having high
fever every receive revelation of God. In that era, the speed of the
"affair" is equal to the speed of a horse or as fastest as the speed
of the Dove.

Ouch I so
shaking, because the speed of the Angels and Angel Gabriel = 50 x 354,000 speed
of light = 17,700,000 x the speed of light. Please
concludefor yourself, theAngelswith his or her wings asdepictedby theartmastersat thetime even
until now able to fly that fast.

My point
was just try to explain the difference between the term of a day in QS 32:5 and
QS 70:4 by comparing the terms of a day at the Moon and at the Venus. When I
searched for the time length of a day at the Moon and at the Venus, fortunately
I found interesting articles that are about the human landing on the moon and
the speed of light.

A couple of years ago I was sufficiently curious about the calculation that I actually followed the equations through to the end (I started out my university education in Honours Physics, before I came to my senses and switched to computer science). The basic argument starts with the following verse from the koran:

He rules (all) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will (all affairs) go up to Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be (as) a thousand years of your reckoning. Surah 32:5

From this verse, the following statement is derived:

The distance light travels in one day is equal to the distance the moon travels in 1000 years.

Through some convoluted logic which is more or less valid, the author of the document succeeds in coming up with a value for the speed of light which is around 10% higher than the actual speed of light (i.e, the author proves, more or less, that the distance the moon travels in 900 years is approximately equal to the distance light travels in one day).

OK, fine. This is a mildly interesting result, but certainly not miraculous. Even though the author had to "bend" the truth in order to make his result that close, he didn't "break" the truth.

To make the calculation miraculous, the author then proceeds to introduce a "correction" term which he claims is needed due to the "2nd postulate of special relativity". This correction term is (according to him):

cos 26.92848 = 0.89157

By introducing this "correction", the value for the speed of light as given in the koran becomes exact.

***************

The entire calculation is nonsense, of course, but at least it is entertaining nonsense. There are many, many rebuttals to this calculation on the web; a google search for SPEED OF LIGHT KORAN will bring up many of them.

"O Allah! I seek refuge with You from knowledge that does not benefit, and from a heart that is not subdued and humble, and from a supplication that is not heard, and from a self that is not satisfied."

And he would then say: "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from these four things."

[Reported by an-Nasa'i (5470, 5536 & 5537) and Abu Dawud (1548), and it is sahih]

He rules (all) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will (all affairs) go up to Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be (as) a thousand years of your reckoning. Surah 32:5

and then go on to discuss how a calculation for the speed of light can possibly, maybe, sort of be reached from this statement. I defy you to find me an Imam that will define this statement to have some possible calculation of the speed of light in it. The only way to reach these conclusions from three short sentences is to twist and distort their original meaning to their absolute breaking point and beyond.
